In closing
George Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an easy sipping whiskey that’s got an overall enjoyable flavor profile. There is a sweetness throughout of maple syrup and vanilla that’s accompanied by a nice rye spice. For the $40 price point, I think this is a good option in that price range and wouldn’t leave anyone disappointed. Although good neat, it would also be a fantastic mixer.
